MEET APRIL

I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come. 

I began capturing images on film at the age of 22 when I discovered my dad's old Pentax in the attic. The limited amount of images on a roll of film forced me to put my camera phone down and really observe the beauty in the world, and the people around me. Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them. 

Even with it's ups and downs, your life, your story, are beautiful and I can't wait to create images to show that!

IN A NUTSHELL

THIS AND NOT THAT

I’m all about real moments between loved ones. You won’t find any stiff poses, or awkward hugs around here. I’m a big believer that your images should actually LOOK you! 

CANDID, INTIMATE MOMENTS

There's nothing quite like the beauty of the great outdoors when it comes to taking photos. I'm currently on a mission to take portraits at all 58 US National Parks.

Instant coffee? No thank you. I'll wait the extra minutes for a fresh roasted French pressed coffee any day. My mornings aren't complete without a hot cup of joe.

IT STARTED OUT WITH A KISS

The first time my dad saw my mom, he was so sure she was the one, he walked straight up to her and gave her a kiss. Was it forward? Yes. But it worked. It's been 32 years and they're still going strong. 

My parents have always been a beautiful example of love, intimacy and marriage. And when my mom got sick, it wasn't home decor or baked goods that my dad brought to the hospital, it was photos. Photos remind us of the strength, courage and hope that reside in all of us the way few other things can.
